Need Help with Your Teenage Boy?  Though Not in Stanley, Virginia, Would You Consider Gateway Christian Military School in Florida Instead?

Gateway Boys Academy is a lower cost military school in West Florida like no other. We are a military academy, an accredited school, and a working ranch and farm, as well as counseling and mentoring, competitive team sports, a spiritual emphasis, and hands-on outreach to help disadvantaged people in third-world countries. All of these are meant to bring about change in a boy’s heart and life. When given the structure and order of a military academy, wayward teen boys soon become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens.

Though not in Stanley, Virginia, You Can Set the Stage for a New Start and a New Direction for Your Boy by Having Him Spend Time Here

Over 1000 boys from all 50 states and internationally have turned their lives around at Gateway Boys Academy. We  accept boys from across the nation, including from Stanley, Virginia.

Our Compassionate Staff Teach Our Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our school is accessible from Stanley, Virginia and cities throughout the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we commit to demonstrating the love of God to each and every cadet, surrounding him with compassionate care. Many of our staff have been in your situation, either having been through a similar program themselves or having enrolled a teen of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through our Christian Military School

Boys start in our basic training platoon with the supervision of drill instructors. For the initial few months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to orderliness and chores surround them with structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys learn to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive instead of their previously destructive activities. In time, they promote to higher levels, gaining privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The senior level military school cadet is allowed to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most teens who have been failing or falling behind not just get up to date but pull ahead. Gateway meets all requirements by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas at the completion of our academic program. School takes place year-round as students study at their own pace through first-rate curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow students to transfer back to public institutions or to go on to college or the military.

Boys Discover a New Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual life forms a large part of life at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus and strive to create a Godly atmosphere conducive to Christian growth. Boys attend group Bible studies, go to chapel services two times a week, and work with a counselor to pursue individually assigned Bible studies meant for character growth.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we give attention to family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend seminars for training about boundaries and positive parenting.

Most boys in our program turn from their self-destructive behavior to a lifetime of serving others. If your son needs order and discipline to turn his life around, please consider Gateway.

Although not located in Stanley, Virginia, Gateway could be the type of environment your teen needs to generate a positive change. Please call or submit our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
